San Antonio will soon be on a boom,
a. d property is already beginning to
rise In value. Since the advent Of the
Cincinnati syndicate and their rather
Ito San Antonians) lavish purchases Of
real estate In our city, our chances for
reyiViOatiOn have about doubled, and we
may look forward to yet seeing wider
streets, paved, and lined with side walks
and crowded with commerce and TEEN
ing with busy money getting Tideawake
citizens. The Cincinnati syndicate Is
partly composed of some OF the capital
ists who have built up Dallas, Fort
Worth and towns 10 Kansas, and they
mean business by the purchase of the
Albert Maverick pasture, Gen. Russ,
Col. Andrews and others prop
erty, just northwest Of the city.
Already men have surveyed the
property and laid it Off into
lots and streets and now a force of labor
ers are at work grubbing the mesquite
brush from the newly laid out streets.
The parties interested in this enterprise
say they propose to make Ii al addition
to San Antonio and will have large
hotel, Il college, and possibly other en-
terprises, such az manufactures, on the
ground in very short time. A street
car line will be built to connect with the
North Flores street car line, and the
plot will be lit with gas, and the lots
mOnumented and otherwise marked Off
before houses are built.
The men at the head OF this enterprise
represent millions of capital, which,
though Of course not all, will be partly
Invested in San Antonio. Ii
is proposed, also, to form
Il citizens committee, composed of per-
haps about 80 of the most enterprising and
go-ahPad, wealthy citizens of our city,
10 be established for the purpose of put
ting forth the advantages of our city,
advertising it thoroughly throughout ev-
cry state in the north, and doing every
thing else In their power to enhance the
wealth and welfare OF our city. Let
them be encouraged in this idea. 1t is
the only way that several other Texas
and Kansas cities have been built up
and brought into prominence and pros
perity, and will pay each and every one
Of our real estate owners and tax payers.

The other day q young man in the
suburbs OF Paris saved the life of a
young woman who was trying to drown
herself. When a reward WAS offered to
him for his brave act he refused it, say
ing that he had loved the young woman
whose life he had saved and wished her
hand as his reward. She refused him,
however, because she was in love with
another young man, whose failure to re-
turn her love had made her determine to
take her life. At last accounts the
young woman was still bent on killing
herself, and her preserver was thinking
Of following her example because she
wOuld not love him.

They Want to Remodel 1t Again.

The county commissioners met yes
terday TO consider the courthouse ques-
tion and Notwithstanding the fact that
there are possibilities of getting a new
site gratis in the eighbOrhoOd of Alamo
plaza, they have decided to persist in
the idea Of remodelling the present
courthouse. It is said that the main
reason for this, is the valuable vault that
is now In the building which then cost
$4,000, but which could now be built
for about oDe-fOurth of the cost. The
remodelling idea does not meet with
general approval as the building has
already been remOdelled and is now re-
garded as elng useless.

cision was arrived at, and the meeting
would be without special interest were
1t not for the report of one of the Incl
dents that shows the feeling which di-
vided the presidential advisers into two
irreconcilable factions. The scene is
given in the language of one of the par
Elephants in the evening session of Fri
day, December 28th, who afterward re-
counted the event in the council-room
of the White House itself. The last

was in this room, lying on the sofa
which then stood between the windows
yonder. / remember it well-it was on
the night of the 2Sth of December, 1860.
We had had high words and had almost
come TO blows in our discussion over
Fort Sumter. Thompson was here.
Thompson was plausible talker.
and, as last resort, having been driven
from every other argument, advocated
the evacuation of the fort on the plea
of generosity. South Carolina, he said,
was but small state with sparse
white population; we were great and
powerful people and a strong, vigorous
government. We could afford to saw
to South Carolina, " See, we will with
draw our garrison as an evidence that
we mean you no harm" Stanton re-
piled to him, Mr.. President, the pro-
posal to be generous implies that the
government is strong, and that we as
the public servants have the confidence
of the people. l think that is a mis-
take. No administration has ever suf-
fered the loss of public confidence and
support as this has done. Only the
other day it was announced that a mil
lion of dollars had been stolen from
Mr.. Thompson's department. The
bonds were found to have been taken
from the vault where they should have
been kept, and the notes of Mr.. FLOYD
were substituted for them. Now it is
proposed to give up Sumter. All have
to say is that no administration much
less this one, can afford to lose mil
lion of money and a fort in the same
week. Floyd remained silent aud did
not reappear in that chamber The
cabinet was again convened on the
evening of Saturday, December Doth;
but when it met there was one vacant
seat at the council-board. During that
day Floyd sent in his formal resigna-
ton, complaining that he had been
subjected to a violation of solemn
pledges and plighted faith The resig-
nation was duly accepted on the follow
ing Monday, and the war department
placed Professionally under the charge of
Postmaster-general Holt.n

Mr.. Long had come out and watche d
the connagration from a discreet dis
lance. But he had drawn gradually
closer, till he finally stood poking over
the warm cinders with one foot Mr..
Talcott stood near by. They did not
look at each other for a moment. Then
the latter spoke, in a voice made high
and sharp by the greatness of the eff
fort:
Went down jest like paper" he
said. " guess there couldn't anybody
a-stopped it--nothing at alll'' He felt
that he regained by this some of the
dignity he had lost in his own concep-
ton; he looked relieved.
His neighbor did not reply directly.
The darkness hid his softened, per-
turbed expression, and he was not the
person to make it manifest. His tone,
when he spoke, was composed and even
condescending.
According to law" he said,
